Description

Beyond the standard menu, this spot serves up fried chicken, curry cowfoot, cabbage, and oxtail with rice and beans. While it has spent decades drawing regulars—some of whom once praised the jerk sauce as a recipe worth trying to recreate—recent experiences are mixed. Longtime patrons note a shift in quality over the last few years, pointing to changes in their favorite dishes and oxtail that is sometimes tough rather than tender.
